Btw, I think Vol.2 contains one of my article...(shameless plug this is)<br />Otherwise I don't know of any reason why I will get two issues for free [<img src='/community/emoticons/emotion-2.gif' alt='' />]<br /><br /><br /><br />--Frank<br /<a target="_blank" href=http://www.insidesql.de>http://www.insidesql.de</a><br />
I've just glanced through this book yesterday and most of the articles seems to be pretty basic for an experienced DBA, though I could find few topics that are interesting to me, viz. Clustering SQL Server 2000 from 500 Feet etc. Then it stuck my mind, Hey! How about a book of our own, "Best of SQL-Server-Performance.com" ? Looks like we have over 835,000 words of tuning content and several experienced contributing authors. I think we can do it better. What do you think ?
I don't think it should be a question of whom can do better. Sites about SQL Server are definitely niche sites. Within this already small niche both sites in question serve different purposes and have different audiences. There is very few competition among both. And that's good so! Having that said, I like the idea of having a kind of ebook with selected content from this site in one place. --Frank http://www.insidesql.de
Actually, I am in the process of putting most of the entire website into a HELP file, so that you can access most of the content from your desktop. The project has been running slow, but should be done in the next 30-60 days or so. ----------------------------- Brad M. McGehee, MVP Webmaster SQL-Server-Performance.Com

I didn't mean to say that one site is good and the other is bad. I'm sorry if I sounded like that. But, I believe in competition and I think that's what brings out the best in one. quote:Originally posted by FrankKalis I don't think it should be a question of whom can do better.

Sorry, I didn't want it to sound that way, too! But I think there is not much competition to this site anyway. Brad tries to keep it focused on a narrowed aspect of SQL Server, and obviously is on the right way. And, speaking now as a webmaster myself, keeping a site alive and kicking is by far more work than one might think. --Frank http://www.insidesql.de
To be frank this is only ONE website which has more focus towards performance topic(as per the name) than any other sites even MS too, a must site for every DBA & Developer.
